The Grill Bar

The Grill is an unlikely name for a bar and yet, in Aberdeen, it is synonymous with all that is best about Scotland's traditional, family-owned pubs. Originally established as a restaurant in 1870, from whence it takes its name, and converted to a pub some time later, it has remained virtually unchanged since 1926, making it one of Aberdeen's olldest pubs. In their listing of Pub Interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest, CAMRA included The Grill as the only Scottish entry north of Dundee. Many generations of resident and returning Aberdonians have quenched their thirst in its comfortable and congenial atmosphere.
